All Texans are eligible for the vaccine starting this week, here's the message from the Texas Department of State Health Services:

All adults will be eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine in Texas beginning Monday, March 29. The Texas Department of State Health Services expects vaccine supplies to increase next week, and providers in multiple parts of the state have made great strides in vaccinating people in the current priority groups. The state’s Expert Vaccine Allocation Panel recommended opening vaccination to everyone who falls under the current Food and Drug Administration emergency use authorizations to protect as many Texans as possible.

It's true, the numbers and charts below show the flattening of the curve is still happening however, there is a slight tick upwards in the Ark-La-Tex.  So, let's keep doing the things we know work, keep distance, wash hands, wear a mask when you think you need to, etc.
